Lakeside Chautauqua

June 18-24, 2016

New Teen Center Opens on Waterfront

It's a brand new summer, and now, Lakesider teens will have a brand new space where they can engage in the Chautauqua experience together.

Previously, teens were unable to participate in all four Chautauqua pillars through the 'Lakeside Underground' program, which provided spiritual and physical activities that catered to the 13-18 age group.

The concept of a Teen Center is to build on the work that had started with 'Lakeside Underground' and provide a physical space for teen programming in all four Chautauqua pillars.

Lakesiders are invited to tour the newly renovated Teen Center, located in the Lower Pavilion Room, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 18 at our open house. Refreshments will also be served.

Pool & Wellness a Top, Short-Term Priority

During the summer of 2015, residents and guests were asked to imagine what Lakeside could be in the years to come.

Many needs were identified, but Lakesiders noted two major, short-term priorities; a community swimming pool and enhanced wellness programming.

Health and wellness have always been integral to our mission of nurturing mind, body and spirit.

In response to overwhelming feedback, a Community Taskforce was assembled to study community pools and wellness centers in order to make a recommendation to Lakeside's Board of Directors in February.

Broad-based electronic surveys were conducted during the year to identify the most desired pool features, exercise classes and wellness education lectures.

The Taskforce assumed an aggressive timeline with a target goal of opening a pool and wellness center in 2017.

Smirk! - Jugglers

Physical comedian Reid Belstock and innovative juggling ace Warren Hammond have teamed up to bring Lakeside a hilarious and incredible juggling and slapstick performance at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, June 22.

With Belstock playing a maniacal goofball and Hammond playing the straight face, the duo has garnered the honor of being compared to Abbott & Costello.

Thursday, June 23
Voiceplay

VoicePlay first began as a street corner barbershop act that has evolved into an internationally-acclaimed touring sensation since they were first introduced to America on the premiere season of NBC's "The Sing-Off" in 2013.

Performing as an a capella group, instruments are not used in their shows. Instead, the music is created with just the five members' voices and various harmonies, covering 5 1/2 octaves.

Members of VoicePlay include Earl Elkins, Jr., Layne Stein, Eli Jacobson, Tony Wakim and Geoff Castellucci.

Friday, June 24

With songs including "All Shook Up," "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Blue Suede Shoes," Albert has won seven major world "Elvis" contests for his impersonation of the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

Beginning with sing-a-long tapes of Elvis' greatest hits, Albert discovered a hidden talent and developed it into a real passion.
